由數年前中國的奶粉有製造商故意不加營養以省成本引致不少可憐孩子成為大頭嬰兒後,現在更進化到在奶粉增加化學原料以偽裝成蛋白質豐富之飲料,殘害大量中國的小孩,更把這些化學奶粉出口外國,造成全球震驚。中國政府極重視的面子便即時掃地,之前的奧運大國形象亦消失無踪。

這種為自己利益而不顧他人生命安全的心態表示出兩種事實:一、如果在奶粉加入工業化學物質的人為了增加蛋白質但不知其副作用者就是極度自私而不顧他人有否受害;二、若果是知道副作用而仍照用工業化學物質的人便是喪心病狂,毫無人性可言了。

可惜中國仍有大量上述極端自私以至喪心病狂的人,所以想成為大國真是痴人說夢。

Back to School

It's Sep and I am a student again. The difference is that this time I am going to stay in the same school for six years and I anticipate that I will be extremely busy. I am going to take some classes in the next couple of years and then if everything goes right, I am heading to the thesis.

I know that this is a lonely journey and it requires persistence and determination. I have chosen this path and I have the courage to face it. I need your support and you are welcome to drop me a few lines.

In fact I was thinking of becoming a PhD student after I completed my master degree in 2003. But I did not want to face the challenge until early this year. Now I am in, and it all depends on whether I can substantiate the loneliness and difficulties in the coming years. Life is difficult sometimes but you will not become a true learner if you do not endure the hardship of learning.
